THANK YOU GENE!!! This engine was supposedly taken out of a 1948 Sedan Delivery. The only number I could find with the limited amount of books that I have was the number off of the exhaust manifold (3835587) that says 1950-54 235/261. This block was painted blue. Do you think it is a 261 replacement

From the numbers (block and head) it would not be a 261.

Don't know why... But, blue was a common color painted on rebuilds...
1947 Fleetmaster Sport Coupe VCCA # 47475
If it's not wearing a Bowtie...It's not properly dressed...!

The 2 ton truck engine he has would be a heavy duty 235. It would have been painted greeen. The HD engine has better exhaust valves, valve rotators and chrome rings.
